What a STUNNING quilt! I missed the problems that you had with the layout. I love how this quilt looks. The secondary pattern the blocks create helps the eye easily flow across the whole quilt. Very nice. I'm sure she'll love it.

Lovely results. Friend who can lend a hand with a quilt problem are so dear. I also see that you have a quilt inspector who is giving the quilt top a final whisker of approval. Very sweet. If this match is God's plan than you will have a daughter-in-law. If not then you will have a dear gal friend to love and cherish.

It is very nice and thoughtful of you.

Thanks for sharing the finished product! Yah....

Perfect, glad you finished it!

very nice!!!

It turned out just beautiful! Even though it's hard to give away, hopefully it will stay in the family. :)

Gorgeous quilt. Payers sent for you son and his friend......we all need to find our best friend, for sure.........

I agree with everyone, it's beautiful and the layout is perfect, now wishing the budding love with blossum.

Very lovely,glad you like it also !

Just prayed for your son. Beautiful Jewel Box. Love the colors. I have been wanting to make that pattern for years, but have not had the fabric speak to me yet. And I've always wondered how the placement of the blocks would go. Looks like you mastered it.

THANK you everyone!!! I LOVE that we have a place where we can all truly appreciate the value of what we do. Not everyone 'gets' it. You've all made me feel very good, and very proud. :o)

prayers for a safe return and the best for both of them

What a lovely gift. I hope it will be used by your future DIL!!!

make sure she sees this pic with the quilt police kitty:D

Its just beautiful and the layouts awesome, will say a prayer for them.

So pretty! It almost gives the effect that you're looking through something to see the colors. Is there a name to your pattern? I could see that on my bed and love the colors, too.

A wonderful quilt. Very nice colors and I notice you have a quilt inspector too!

Beautiful quilt and heartwarming story -- Please thank your wonderful son for his service - our thoughts and prayers are with him. Hope he's home safe soon.

I love it. Moving the colors around helps you see the whole quilt instead of pulling your eye to the brighter colors.

I love it.

Thanks all!! I should post a picture of it complete and quilted. She loved it!

sweet story and lovely quilt

I think it's amazing and your tuxedo seems to approve as well.

Awesome quilt!
